fear Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 After getting blown back down Lib Ridge last year at Thumb, we're back for more. Since you've had a low snow season I'm going to try something a little easier. I'm heading for the Nisqually entrance June 4th and want to try something different than the DC/Kautz variants. I've tried Success Cleaver a few years before but turned back do to lack of snowcover at 9k in mid July. It sucked big time. But I like that side of the mountain and the relative solitude of Westside road approaches. What are the current snowcover/crevasse conditions like for Success Cleaver and/or Tahoma glacier? What would be the recommended approach for Tahoma Glacier be in early June? Snowshoes needed? Thanks. -Fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 We're heading up this Sunday for the Tahoma Glacier if it looks like we'll get a weather window... Anyone been up to Tahoma or any of the Westside road approaches recently? We're wondering about snowshoes.... Thanks -Fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 From what I have seen, snowshoes are not needed. Snow level is very high - think early July. Both the Tahoma Glacier and the Sickle look to be in great condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
